Sri lankan selectors have outlined the team's need for fast-bowling allrounders for next year's World Cup in Australia and New Zealand, if they are to repeat the success they had in the T20 version in Bangladesh.

Sri Lanka's preparations for the ODI World Cup kick off with the tour of Ireland and England in May during which they are scheduled to play seven ODIs apart from Tests and T20s.

They will play another three ODIs in July when South Africa tour the country.

Sri Lanka are currently on a high, having secured both the Asia Cup as well as the World T20 in the last couple of months.
